Bibek:-When did you start playing guitar? What brings you in this kind of music?
Andy Romero: - Hmmmm I started playing Guitar on April 2008 with the inspiration of Musician like Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman...Me and my my other guitarist helped each other for learning guitar. So there never came a time for us to music school haha but we will for classical and Jazz classes...

Bibek:-Which brand guitar do you use?
Andy Romero: - Currently I using Schecter...


Bibek: - Which is your favorite band?
Andy Romero: - I love every band but I got a different feeling when ir comes to Angra...

Bibek:- Did the Andy which I see now have some trouble in his early stage as a musican?
Andy Romero:- Well not I didn't really struggle, I love doing it and want to keep doing this for the rest of my life


Bibek: - As a musican; are you supported by your friends and family?
Andy Romero: - Off course, I am supported if they won’t support why they let me live with them, and also they often visit my gigs, but since they're Christians they wanted me to play for church hahaha……….

Bibek: - What you do beside music?
Andy Romero: - Most of the time I'm playing, but when I'm not I watch anime and play some video games


Bibek:- What you find to be great problem when you start a band?
Andy Romero: - Well the hardest thing is finding cool and dedicated people. They will join you band play few gig and leave you and join another that doesn’t make any sense as a musician... So it is hard to fine people in music.


Bibek: - When you are composing your own music what do you find to be a problem?
Andy Romero: - When the ideas don't flow out, for example I'd make some riffs then I won't work on them until I feel that other riffs fit in those "riffs". Yeah it takes a while too...



Bibek: - What are problem during managing your band?
Andy Romero: - Well we don't have a manager and getting shows isn't that hard since we play local still.



Bibek:- Did your band member has been changed yet?
Andy Romero: - Yeah we've been through changes as we have changed our two drummers and we added a vocalist..


Bibek: - What it makes you to change your band member?
Andy Romero: - Well we didn't actually change him, but he went back to his family back to Mexico

Have you been paying in all of your gigs?
Andy Romero: - Yes, even once I played as a Drummer as our drummer is out for a Vacation.


Bibek: - Do your organizer pay you for your gig?
Andy Romero: - Nope, not once haha but it didn’t mean we fell bad or something like that actually, we will eventually start charging for shows, but now I'm happy when I at least see people bang their heads to our tunes. Yes! I appreciate the art, but hopefully I and the band can live off of it one day.



Bibek: - In USA what problem did metal band are facing?
Andy Romero: - Well I'd say lack of people that appreciate the music; too many people that just listen to one thing and nothing else.
So it's really hard to even decide to start a band. In the end if it's what you like doing then you'll have no problem even if you never made it big.



Bibek:- What you find to be your problem in playing guitar?
Andy Romero: - Lack of motivation. That's been my greatest weakness! haha
There's an old tip for all guitarist... It is to take breaks from it, like a day or two a week, but I hardly missed like a week or two in this whole 4-5 years of playing.
I don't practice every day either, but I play it.

Bibek:- What do you pick as most important theme to make song’s lyrics?
Andy Romero: - I don't write the lyrics, but when my mates do they are about politics, space wars, and based off of books they read. Or sometimes we would all pick a theme and they would start from scratch.


Bibek: - What is your future plan about your band?
Andy Romero: - To start touring and get recognized as a band which music has something different than other. A band who gave a new taste to music industry




Bibek:- say some words to the viewers and you fan out there?
Andy Romero:- Our music is evolving by every song we make, We will bring the goods to their ears and they won't be able to deny it haha
